Plenty of countertop kitchen appliances sell themselves as versatile, and these days, even common toasters come with secondary cooking capabilities. The Omni Cook is a new smart cooking device that actually doubles as a sous chef, and this review will touch on its greatest features.

The device comprises a smart dock complete with a gorgeous touchscreen that the mixing bowl nestles into. Powerful blades grind, crush, and puree as well as any high-end blender. But unlike a blender or food processor, the TOKIT Omni Cook also adds precision heat to cook while the blades spin. With these combined capabilities, along with its built-in scale, the TOKIT Omni Cook can replace up to 21 different common kitchen appliances. Heres a peek at what kitchen alchemy the TOKIT Omni Cook is able to pull off.

Hands-free Pastry: Tricky, temperature-sensitive foods like eggs and dairy can go from silky smooth and delicious to curdled nightmare before you can reach for your probe thermometer. The TOKIT cooks eggs into custard and whips cream to soft peaks without constant stirring over a hot stove.

Ready, Set, Bake: The paddle attachment creams butter and sugar as handily as a countertop KitchenAid mixer for your next batch of cookies or cupcakes. It works equally well when it comes to whipping egg whites into meringue so thick you can practically stand on it. The blades are powerful enough to not just knead pizza or shokupan dough, but provide the perfect temps to let them rise to perfection.

Mealtime, Without the Guesswork: The gorgeous interface syncs up to cookNjoy, a worldwide database with thousands of guided step-by-step recipes. Browse through the platform depending on what youre craving, gather ingredients, and let Omni Cook do the rest. When youre done, simply fill with water and a little soap and run the cleaning cycle. The heat combined with the blades will melt away any caked-on food, leaving the machine pristine for next time.

Seriously Powerful, Seriously Safe: Omni Cooks blades run as slow as 40 rpms and as fast as 12,000 rpms, to not simply puree food, but pulverize it. These blades wont start until the stable safety lock is engaged, making it just as safe as less powerful appliances.

Possibilities are Almost Endless: Eleven different cooking modes let you customize everything from blade speed to cooking temperature, which let the Omni Cook work as not one device, but 21. Its a food processor, but its also a juicer, shredder, kettle, ice crusher, slow cooker, meat grinder, and can even be used as a dedicated steamer and rice cooker.

Because of its versatility, its a fantastic option for folks looking to scale down the amounts of bulky kitchen appliances clogging up countertops. For those living in spaces with tiny kitchens (RVs, college dorms, tiny apartments) TOKIT Omni Cook contains plenty of cooking power in a very small, very sleek space.

PTC Thermistor Market Growth Overview, SWOT Analysis by Key Futuristic Trends from 2021-2028 | TDK Electronics Europe, TE Connectivity, Thermik,...

Humans love looking towards the future and while many had predicted that we would all be piloting flying cars by now, there are still plenty of futuristic cars on the market right now. But which is the most futuristic of them all?

Of course, the term futuristic can refer to something using cutting-edge technology or perhaps featuring a bold, never-before-seen design and in an age of electrification, were starting to see car manufacturers push the boundaries of both technology and design. Whatever you consider to be futuristic, we want to hear from you below.

First Drive: The 2022 Kia EV6 Is The New EV Benchmark

While thinking about some of the most futuristic cars currently on sale (not including concept cars), one car that immediately jumps to mind is the Hyundai Ioniq 5. It is underpinned by the automakers E-GMP platform and features an 800-volt architecture, which is the most up-to-date system being used by EVs. Then theres the exterior design which has some retro-design influences but manages to look more like a spaceship than it does a typical automobile. The Ioniq 5s siblings, the Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, are also very futuristic.

Another car that jumps to mind when thinking about the most futuristic vehicles on sale is the Lucid Air. It goes one step further than the Ioniq 5 by using a 900-volt architecture and also pushes the boundaries with both its unconventional exterior and interior designs.

A number of other high-performance EVs jump to mind when thinking about the most futuristic cars on sale. These include the likes of the Lotus Evija, Pininfarina Battista, and Rimac Nevera. At the other end of the spectrum is the Hyundai Staria which doesnt have the most advanced powertrain but certainly has a futuristic exterior design.

There are also a host of very futuristic cars coming out of China, none more so than the Human Horizons HiPhi X, and all-electric crossover/SUV and MPV-mix thats all-electric and available with a 96 kWh battery pack. Not only is the overall shape of the HiPhi X very intriguing but it also pushes the boundaries with complex front and rear lighting arrays. The interior is also very futuristic, thanks in part to the use of a complex digital instrument cluster, a portrait-oriented infotainment screen, and a large display directly in front of the front passenger.

Its not even March yet and 2022 is already exhausting. Another pandemic on the way when the one were in isnt yet over? it sounds terrifying, but mega billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said we should be getting ready for just that. Gates spoke at Germanys annual Munich Security Conference on Friday and told reporters risk of severe disease from Covid-19 have dramatically reduced, but that a future pandemic is a near certainty.

Well have another pandemic, Gates told CNBCin a video of the conference. It will be a different pathogen next time.

Gates, through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, worked with the U.K.s Wellcome Trust and donated $300 million to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. The goal is to deliver vaccines to low- and middle-income countries, but Gates says its too also late to reach the World Health Organizations goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the global population by mid-2022. Were coming close though, because 61.9 percent has received at least one dose of a vaccine, according to CNBC.

Gates said in the future, we need to prepare much more quickly for pandemics and roll out new vaccines in six months instead of setting goals over a two-year period.

The cost of being ready for the next pandemic is not that large. Its not like climate change, Gates told CNBC. If were rational, yes, the next time well catch it early.

While it sounds scary to think about a new pandemic, the course of human history backs up Gates claims. Diseases come and go, like the flu pandemic of 1918, and they adapt variants over time. It may seem a little strange that a computer company co-founder and certified nerd is the one pushing for healthcare around the world, but Gates has always been a complicated figure. In addition to very recent, public divorce with Melinda Gates that involved allegations of infidelity, Gates also has ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and has been the subject of an untold number of COVID conspiracy theories.

He mentioned some of those conspiracies in a blog post promoting his upcoming book How to Prevent the Next Pandemic.

In the book, I lay out the specific steps we can take to not only stop future pandemics but, in the process, provide better health care for everyone around the world, Gates wrote in the post. I outline what its been like to become the subject of conspiracy theories.

Its kinda concerning that the worlds pandemic preparedness is falling to a less-than-perfect billionaire tech founder, but hey, somebodys got to do it. The current US administration doesnt seem to be in the business of preventing the next pandemic it cant even get everyone to take the vaccines currently available so we guess Gates interventions are better than nothing.

Bill Gates Says Yet Another Pandemic Is Coming - Futurism

Elon Musk has revealed that Teslas upcoming futuristic diner and drive-in theater, planned for the Hollywood area, will accept the meme cryptocurrency dogecoin. The electric car company currently accepts DOGE for some merchandise on its website.

Tesla and Spacex CEO Elon Musk tweeted about future dogecoin payment acceptance Friday in reply to a tweet by developer Ryan Zohoury, who said a new Tesla supercharger station in Santa Monica, California, is almost full 10 minutes after it opened.

The Tesla boss tweeted, And futuristic diner / drive-in theater planned for Hollywood area. He added in a follow-up tweet:

And, of course, you can pay in Doge.

At press time, the Tesla CEO has not clarified what exactly customers can pay for with the meme cryptocurrency. Some people assume that Tesla supercharger stations will accept dogecoin while others interpreted Musks tweet as applicable to only the upcoming diner and drive-in theater in the Hollywood area.

Nonetheless, Dogecoins supporters welcome Musks plan to further the adoption of the meme cryptocurrency.

The price of dogecoin, however, is fairly unaffected by this news. At the time of Musks tweet, DOGE was trading at $0.1417 based on data from Bitcoin.com Markets. While the price did subsequently rise slightly to $0.1450, it fell to $0.1411 at the time of writing.

In January, Tesla began accepting dogecoin for some merchandise. Musk then tried to get McDonalds to accept DOGE by offering to eat a Happy Meal on television. However, the famous fast-food chain replied, only if Tesla accepts grimacecoin.

Musk, a longtime dogecoin supporter, is sometimes known in the crypto community as the Dogefather. The Tesla boss believes that DOGE is the peoples crypto and previously revealed that many people he talked to at Tesla and Spacex owned dogecoin. He said that dogecoin is the best crypto for transactions while bitcoin is more suitable as a store of value.

What do you think about Tesla expanding its dogecoin adoption? Let us know in the comments section below.

Amid a maelstrom set off by a prominent AI researcher saying that some AI may already be achieving limited consciousness, one MIT AI researcher is saying the concept might not be so far-fetched.

Our story starts with Ilya Sutskever, head scientist at the Elon Musk cofounded research group OpenAI. On February 9, Sutskever tweetedthat it may be that todays large neural networks are slightly conscious.

In response, many others in the AI research space decried the OpenAI scientists claim, suggesting that it was harming machine learnings reputation and amounted to little more than a sales pitch for OpenAIs work.

That backlash has now generated its own clapback from MIT computer scientist Tamay Besiroglu, whos now bucking the trend by coming to Sutskevers defense.

Seeing so many prominent [machine learning] folks ridiculing this idea is disappointing, Besiroglu tweeted. It makes me less hopeful in the fields ability to seriously take on some of the profound, weird and important questions that theyll undoubtedly be faced with over the next few decades.

I dont actually think we can draw a clear line between models that are not conscious vs maybe slightly conscious,' he said in a followup message. Im also not sure any of these models are conscious.

That said, I do think the question could be a meaningful one that shouldnt just be neglected, he added.

While fears of conscious computers go as far back as the infamous Maschinenmensch in 1927s Metropolis,researchers have repeatedly punted on the concept, saying that it was too far in the future to worry about just yet and that in any case, misuses of less advanced AI are already widespread.

That stance explains much of the pushback to Sutskevers claim, which represented one of the first times acredible AI researcher hinted that their creation may have gained some consciousness of its own.

OpenAI which Sutskever cofounded alongside Musk and the groups current CEO Sam Altman has in recent years gained notoriety for making GPT-3, a sophisticated text generating algorithm thats caused controversy after users exploited it in some pretty grotesque ways.

AI has advanced so rapidly in recent years that many humans, whose advanced intelligence capabilities evolved many tens of thousands of years ago, seem to be struggling with the dizzying concept of conscious computers.

If nothing else, this iteration of the conscious AI debate could well be pushing the boundaries of what constitutes consciousness and may, ultimately, play a role in how we come to define it.

Updated with comment from Besiroglu and to remove a facetious tweet.

This could be a problem.Canny Valley

As if the possibility that AI might already be conscious wasnt creepy enough, researchers have announced that AI-generated faces have become so sophisticated that many people think theyre more trustworthy than actual humans.

A pair of researchers discovered that a neural network dubbed StyleGAN2 is capable of creating faces indistinguishable from the real thing, according to a press release from Lancaster University. In fact, in a jarring twist, participants seemed to find AI-generated faces more trustworthy than the faces of actual people.

Our evaluation of the photo realism of AI-synthesized faces indicates that synthesis engines have passed through the uncanny valley and are capable of creating faces that are indistinguishable and more trustworthy than real faces, the researchers, who will be publishing a paper of their findings in the journal PNAS, said in the release.

As part of the study, the team asked participants to rate the faces on a scale of one to seven for trustworthiness, with one being least trustworthy. On average, the synthetic faces were perceived as seven percent more trustworthy than normal ones.

Of course, theres a whole host of grim implications behind the teams findings, including the fact that it could open the door for even more sophisticated deepfaked images and videos that are indistinguishable from reality.More worrisome, though, is the specter that it might cast doubt on real photos and videos.

Perhaps most pernicious is the consequence that in a digital world in which any image or video can be faked, the authenticity of any inconvenient or unwelcome recording can be called into question, the researchers said.

Scientists Warn That New AI-Generated Faces Are Seen as More Trustworthy Than Real Ones - Futurism

With electric vehicles gaining popularity in the market, Mahindra is now preparing to launch a range of electric vehicles in the market. The manufacturer recently released a teaser video for their upcoming electric SUV line up. The teaser video showcases three electric models that are part of Mahindras Born Electric Vision. The Mahindra electric SUV range will be revealed to the world in July 2022. Mahindra was one of the first Indian manufacturer to ever have an electric car in the passenger segment but, currently the manufacturer has nothing to offer. With popularity for models like Nexon EV and MG ZS EV rising, Mahindra has decided to enter the space once again.

The video has been shared by Mahindra Born Electric on their official YouTube channel. The video shows three electric SUV models in it. These electric SUVs are special as these are the first models to be designed at Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (MADE) studio in the UK. The teaser video shows a glimpse of what we can expect from the upcoming Mahindra electric SUVs.

All three models are differentiated using the LED DRLs. All the three SUVs have LED DRLs that are different from each other. Looking at the teaser video it looks like Mahindra will be offering three bold looking electric SUVs. One of the SUVs is likely to be the electric version of Mahindra XUV300 as it was recently spotted testing under heavy camouflage. The SUVs are likely to get a sharp and imposing looking design. All the three SUVs have a C-shaped LED DRL at the front and a C-shaped LED tail lamps at the rear. The SUV on the extreme left looks the smallest of the three and the SUV next to it is slightly bigger in size, and is expected to be the electric version of the Mahindra XUV700. It looks like the SUV on the extreme right is the biggest, and is likely to be the Mahindra e-XUV900 a coupe styled version of the XUV700.

Some models have a connecting LED bar between them while some dont. The SUVs are expected to have an all-new design which is not similar to anything that we have seen from Mahindra so far. Mahindra has plans to invest around Rs 3,000 crore for the electric vehicle plan. Mahindra will be converting 4 IC engine SUVs from its current portfolio to electric and other than that, Mahindra will also be developing 4 all-new electric SUVs in the future. Currently not much information is available regarding the three models that will be unveiled in July.

It is quite possible that the smallest SUV teased in the video is the Mahindra XUV300 EV. The Mahindra XUV300 EV will rival with the likes of Tata Nexon EV which is currently the best seller in its segment. Currently there are no details available about the XUV300 EV or XUV400 as some people are calling it. Mahindra is expected to offer a 40 kWh battery pack which will generate approximately 130 Bhp. The SUV is expected to offer a driving range of approximately 300 kms or more. Like other products in Mahindra portfolio, the manufacturer is likely to offer the electric SUVs at a competitive price.

The Olympics are all about emotion the drama of world-class competition, the pageantry of medal ceremonies, and the moment-to-moment celebrations of the human spirit in action.

Futuristic Technology At The Olympics: AI, IoT, And Robots

The 2022 Winter Games kicked off on February 4th in Beijing, China. Despite the fact that the Games feel a little different because of COVID restrictions, nearly 3,000 athletes from 91 countries are competing in 109 events across events like alpine skiing, figure skating, ice hockey, luge, bobsled, snowboarding, and speed skating.

And behind the scenes, there are huge technological advances helping athletes become better, faster, and stronger.

Lets take a look at how artificial intelligence, the IoT, and intelligent devices are being used at the Olympic Games.

Teams looking for a competitive edge are using AI technologies for player training, performance, health, and safety. That includes things like:

Cameras and sensors in equipment like bike pedals or shoes that can continuously stream data to coaches, so they can make adjustments.

Smart wearables and that measure lung capacity, heart rate, and movement, so sports physicians, physical therapists, and team doctors can reduce injuries and help players heal faster.

Monitoring equipment that helps coaching staff predict the next move of the opposing team or individual competitor.

AI programs that can analyze performance data to create personalized solutions for training, rest, and nutrition.

AI-enabled physical tests that can detect early signs of fatigue or stress-related injuries.

Artificial intelligence tools like computer-vision cameras give the Olympic audience the ultimate viewing experience.

AI-powered 3D Athlete Tracking (3DAT) uses cameras with computer vision and artificial intelligence to give fans near-real-time data during races and events. AI provides biomechanical analysis of athlete speed, distance traveled, and time remaining to display on screen and use in overlays during replays.

Upcoming viewer-oriented innovations around scoring, positioning systems, and timekeeping are currently in development for the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

Inventors and scientists at the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in China created a robotic curling coach that uses a combination of image recognition, AI, and an automatic control system to help teams refine their performance.

The robot simulates the curling throwing process, which can help athletes predict potential game situations before they occur. The HIT team will unveil the robotic curling coach to the world at the Beijing Olympics.

Get a little preview of how the robot works in this short video:

In an effort to keep the spread of COVID-19 under control at this years games, organizers decided to bring in robot chefs to prepare and deliver meals onsite for the athletes and their support teams.

The advancements include things like:

An AI-enabled chef-bot that prepares burgers and other hot meals

A coffee robot that grinds beans and brews java

A ceiling-mounted robot arm that delivers meals to people sitting in socially-distanced cubicles

Super-efficient bartender robots that mix up favorite cocktails

Watch the kitchen and bar bots in action in this video:

AI, robots, and the Internet of Things are playing a key role at this years Winter Olympics so look for some of this cutting-edge technology as your cheer for your favorite athletes this year and beyond.
